Extroverts by nature are concerned with their physical and social environment when interacting with those they are interested in.

They derive energy from their external environment and the people they are with socially.

Introverts are the opposite.

Introverts by nature are concerned with their internal thoughts and emotions.

They derive greater stimulation from those internal thoughts and emotions than they do from socializing.

Most extroverts end up dating other extroverts, but not from a reluctance to date introverts.

It is more so due to coming across other extroverts in the social environments that they are in.

These relationships run into problems shortly after, due to varying behaviors complicating their dynamics.

For some extroverts, they look at dating an introvert as a challenge.

When they get home, the extrovert is irritated but hasn’t given up.

The extrovert goes out with the introvert again and again and again, repeatedly going to social environments that are overwhelming busy with people and noise.

The introvert repeatedly has a tough time blending in and like most introverts, eventually finds their corner to hide from the crowd.

Eventually, the two parties get fed up and a breakup is brewing.

The crazy thing is, the extrovert went about it wrong.

It was too much, too soon.

A small social venue is what the extrovert needed to expose the introvert to for a period of time.

This environment works better on an introvert who is dating an extrovert to help them develop better social skills.

Some extroverts and introverts who date succeed.

But, these are extroverts who have the capacity to adopt introverted tendencies and introverts who have the capacity to adopt extroverted tendencies.

The quintessential extrovert and quintessential introvert have a harder time with synergy.

The extrovert wants to go out, whereas their introverted partner wants to stay home, worried about being in yet another crowded environment they aren’t ready for.

This upsets the extrovert.

They had just spent the last few weeks appeasing the introvert by going to smaller social venues.

Yet, the introvert has refused to pay it back.

It doesn’t take long before the extrovert develops resentment towards the introvert.

Fights occur soon after and a breakup happens.

It’s inevitable that the polar opposite differences of an extrovert who doesn’t have natural introverted tendencies, and an introvert who doesn’t have natural extroverted tendencies come to a head, making a long-lasting relationship next to impossible to achieve.
